Connected Vehicles

Wireless technology is allowing automakers to reinvent the wheel.

Today’s drivers are looking for automobiles that keep pace with their digital lifestyles. They don’t just want horsepower, they want bandwidth too.

With wireless technology under the hood, vehicles can stay in sync with information over the web, the cloud and whatever comes next.

Now it’s possible for vehicles to communicate with manufacturers, dealerships and insurance companies – keeping these automobiles operating at maximum efficiency and safety (in addition to receiving entertainment and navigation data).

Just what you wanted

But it can be difficult for automakers to know what technology rights to license, and what’s a fair price for that license.

Avanci offers a license to patented essential wireless technology for your connected car. All in one marketplace, with one conversation, speeding up the process of getting your model to market.

Straightforward and simple

Avanci’s straightforward pricing means that the flat-fee license royalty cost will be tied to the value that the technology provides to the connected device, not its sales price.

The one-stop Avanci marketplace also offers the best price by minimizing transaction costs and allowing you to obtain licenses once, rather than making many separate purchases.
